Cash or insurance?
At 3 of 3 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at none is it below every plan's rate. If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you usually pay your plan's negotiated rate, which falls somewhere in the "Insurers pay" column. Paying cash can cost less, but a cash payment usually does not count toward your deductible. Ask the hospital for both numbers before you book.
What it is
Tdap protects against tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough (pertussis). Adults who never had it get one dose, pregnant women get one in each pregnancy, and it can replace a tetanus booster.
What the price covers
